With a worldwide audience of approximately 1 billion viewers, Miss World is the most important beauty pageant in the world with Miss Universe. Every year, Pageant Experts from across the world put forth their predictions as to which ladies will make the cut at this event.

Miss World 2015 will be held on 19 December 2015 at the Crown of Beauty Theatre in Sanya, China PR. Miss World 2014 Rolene Strauss from South Africa will crown her successor at the end of the event.

The pageant was created in 1951 by Eric Morley, it was called the Festival Bikini Contest. The swimsuit competition was intended as a promotion for the bikini. However, because of the controversy arising from Miss World 1951 Kicki Håkansson's crowning in a bikini, countries with religious traditions threatened not to send delegates to future events, and the bikini was condemned by the Pope.

In 1976 swimsuits were replaced by evening gowns for the crowning. In 2014, the organization eliminated the swimsuit competition from the pageant.

The pageant's popularity grew in 1959 when the BBC started broadcasting the beauty pageant. In the 1980s, the pageant repositioned itself with the slogan Beauty With a Purpose, with added tests of intelligence and personality. Eric Morley died in 2000, her wife, Julia Morley succeeded as the owner of the organization.

The annual final is a month-long event with activities, dinners and galas.
